SOMETIMES DO THE THINGS YOU ARE GOOD AT, EVEN IF THEY TAKE TIME!

Instructions for (collective) project work (German only)

For this publication, KunstRaum Goethestrasse xtd has combed through its initiated and realised art and communication projects with the aim of passing on thoughts about its practice to those who feel like working in a similar way.

With the combination of passing on experience and openness to associations, we also hope to make people want to try out their own projects and engage with the contradictions of everyday work with relish: Those contradictions that arise when one acts between autonomy and institution, between art and participation; the contradictions of change and continuity, of one’s own and collective authorship, of productivity and productive pauses. And yet not always having to reinvent the same wheel two, three or four times.

Drawings, graphic interventions and pictorial statements that emerged from various workshops of participants of KunstRaum Goethestrasse xtd have been placed here in new relationships and create new contexts.

Price and proceeds: 5 €; free of charge for workshop leaders and educators of all sorts.

The proceeds go to pro mente OÖ and are used for artistic and creative projects with clients of pro mente OÖ.
